App development two purebasic IDEs

Post by lesserpanda »

Hi guys, not sure if it's possible but I'd like 2 IDEs open at the same time as one is a websocket server dealing with the backend stuff and the other is the front end etc.

I'd like to run and develop it at the same time with 2 IDEs. Is that possible?

Do you mean from one PureBasic.exe launch? Not possible. But you can run PureBasic.exe as many times as you like, totally independently from each other, for multiple coding sessions. I do it all the time. Make sure the Preference setting is set to allow more than one PureBasic.exe instance.

Thanks Barry, unchecking the "Run only one instance" in the Preferences did the job.

Also, you can run every code in each IDE tab, so you don't need to open multiple Purebasic.exe to run client and server code at the same time, simply run one, change to the other tab a run too.

Yes, every tab is independent (own debugger instance etc.) but you can have only one project opened at time.
